About Using Ehcache with Hibernate
Accelerating Hibernate applications typically involves reducing their reliance on the database when fetching data. Terracotta offers powerful in-memory solutions for maximizing the performance of Hibernate applications:
Ehcache as a plug-in second-level cache for Hibernate – Automatically cache common queries in memory to substantially lower latency.
BigMemory for an in-memory store – Leverage off-heap physical memory to keep more of the data set close to your application and out of reach of Java garbage collection.
Automatic Resource Control for intelligent caching – Pin the hot set in memory for high-speed access and employ fine-grained sizing controls to avoid OutOfMemory errors.
Ehcache easily integrates with the Hibernate Object/Relational persistence and query service. Gavin King, the maintainer of Hibernate, is also a committer to the BigMemory Go's Ehcache project. This ensures Ehcache will remain a first-class data store for Hibernate.
Configuring Ehcache for Hibernate is simple. The basic steps are as follows:
